This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right axillary artery to left lower leg artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 031509B

UNSPSC 85504570 Bypass right axillary artery to left lower leg artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code bears no meaningful relationship to vascular surgery and instead centers on occupational health services, medical staffing, pharmacy benefit administration, and independent medical evaluations for public employee retirement and disability determinations. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its abstract clinical scope and what state and local buyers are actually procuring under it. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation departments, county health care consortiums, and county boards of commissioners — a broad mix reflecting the diverse healthcare and human resources functions of state and local government. The work being solicited encompasses occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, independent disability medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, temporary ancillary health professional staffing for county health systems, pharmacy benefit management for employee health plans, and specialty surgical networks for municipal employee benefits. None of these activities map to vascular surgical procedures.

Recent opportunities cluster across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a response deadline of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with a response deadline of October 9, 2026. The City of Long Beach posted HR26753 for surgical benefit carve-out management with a response deadline of October 7, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with a response deadline of October 7, 2026. This code warrants careful evaluation: the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment does not reflect the actual procurement landscape, and vendors should verify scope alignment with individual solicitations before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
